ANGERME once again comes up with something new: the “back-drawing event”

≪Rules of the “Shiver Game”≫
Once you get into the booth, the member will randomly draw a paper from a box, containing the letters she will write on your back. There will be two levels of difficulty: “difficulty A” which will be two hiragana characters, or “difficulty B” which will be two kanji characters. Once the level of difficulty is determined, you turn around and the game begins. Once the staff gives the signal, the member will draw the characters on your back several times within a time span of 30 seconds.

Once the time is up, please write the characters that were drawn on your back on an answer sheet within 10 seconds. Once you’re done, we will compare your answer to the question sheet. If you get the answer right, you win! You will receive a prize. If your answer is incorrect, you will still receive a consolation prize.

Some people may experience cold shivers when their backs are touched, so please enjoy this “game of shivers.”

※ There will be eight separate booths for the members of ANGERME. Their events will run concurrently.
※ The “event participation ticket” and “member designation ticket” will be given to you along with the product.※ The members will use a handheld rod to draw on your back.
※ Please understand that when you’re facing away from the member, you will not be able to see her face.
※ You may not choose between difficulty A and B. It will be a matter of luck.※ Please refrain from talking about subjects unrelated to the game.
※ You will not be able to shake hands or have any other form of physical touching with the member.

There are still some junior high schoolers in the group, too.

How are they going to make up for this?
I was really looking forward to it, too…

I bet they would’ve had a bunch of trouble with this down the line. Like, fans complaining “I received scratches on my back” or something. They wouldn’t have liked that.

Whatever the “various circumstances”, this seems like such a weird thing to plan on. I can see the appeal of some of the other non-handshake events like where you get drawn or even get some advice–in the end even if it cost a stupid amount of money, at least you’ve got a unique item or memory. But having randomly selected hiragana traced on your back with a rod? No item, uniqueness, OR even the physical contact and brief words of a regular handshake. The most use it would seem to be would be bringing it up on message boards years down the line. “Remember that weird thing they did with the rod!?”

what’s wrong with the good old autograph session? it’s usually not about the autograph or the handshake or whatever… it’s about the small amout of time you can spend talking with a person you like…

I personally don’t like physical contact… I’d feel awkward at a handshake event… and it’d be even worse at an event like this (back-drawing)… but I’d appreciate a 10 second conversation with every member…

I think it would have been a great thing to play a funny game with the girls. Honestly I can’t see how people don’t get the appeal of this. It’s totally like going to a girls brithday party in your early teenage years. It’s about the fun you share together not body contact.

So much fun just to read it, would be epic if it did happen and footage was released xD. Still I like to think of idols just as normal people (just like any other celebrity in the world) and I guess its really weird to get asked to do that. I can imagine the members replying “Why would someone want that lol ?”
